Morning streamed through Jess' thin curtains as she buried her head under her pillow, desperate for another ten minutes sleep before the start of a hectic day. Closing her eyes she slipped quickly back into a deep slumber.

There was a man with silver hair and he made her sad, he made her so extremely sad but she didn't know why. He looked her in the eyes and opened his mouth to speak but the voice that escaped his lips wasn't his, Jess didn't know what he would sound like but she knew that he didn't sound like her daughter,

"Mummy! Mummy! WAKE UP!"

Moving her head from it's nice dark retreat she winced at the light as she started to get up to do all the things that needed to be done before dropping Taylor at school and going to work.

Boyd lay admiring Grace as a ray of light played across her sleeping features. Kissing her on the forehead he rolled over and started to get out of bed and start getting ready but he felt a hand on his back. Turning his head Boyd saw the tousled beauty of the woman he loved. Unable to resist her in such an attractive state he lay back down next to her. Grace looked deep into his eyes and saw everything she could ever want. Moving closer she kissed him her hands stroking his strong bare chest. Breaking away Peter caressed the side of her face before starting to get out of bed again. As he felt Grace's fingertips just about touch his skin he spoke rationalising his feelings,

"Grace, we have to get up or we'll never get to work today!"

"Well..." Grace paused suggestively as she drew patterns on the bed sheets with her finger, "We don't have to go to work today. I'm sure Spencer could deal with the paperwork." Boyd looked wistful as he contemplated the thought of spending all day in bed with Grace and he was just about to crack, so Grace decided to try and give him a friendly nudge in the right direction,

"Peter imagine all the things we could do if we just stay here..." Boyd shook his head as if to dispel all the ideas that had sprung into his mind and continued to button his shirt.

"The thing is Grace, as much as I'd love to do all the things you were thinking about but all I'd be able to be think about is that Spencer, Stella and Eve would know what we're doing,"

"Oh look at you, Mr. 'Scaryman' Boyd a prude!" Grace stifled a laugh but Boyd decided that he was going to let that one pass, though he assured his ego that he wouldn't stand for another one. Tying his tie Boyd walked around the bed and kissed Grace again,

"I'll see you downstairs in twenty minutes yeah?" Grace nodded her agreement before nodding off again.
